Tesla’s electric power for the truck and the use of electricity in heavy-duty transporting



(Picture 1)

Tesla has made history, and build brand new concept for heavy-duty vehicles. In that vehicle is electric motors for driving the truck forward. Making of the electric truck is nothing that is made with passenger cars. The needed parts are of course bigger, but technology what is used is tested in many smaller vehicles. And the major problem of electricity usage in heavy transport systems is that the battery’s power would go down, and in the short term driving, there would be no time to recharge those batteries.


The electric system is very useful in heavy-duty vehicles because it can give also the trailer capacity to operate as the part of the pulling system. In normal vehicles, the wheels of the trailer are not connected to the motor system, and that makes this kind of heavy-duty vehicles to operate on bad roads. If the trailer’s wheels are used in driving sequences, and they are equipped with motors, that would make the trailer more capacities than before.


There are two ways to make the truck with electric motors. One is to use the pure electric system, but that would need recharge stations. But in this case, the normal power voltage cable could give the needed electricity for that system. Another is to use the diesel-electric system, where the diesel motor would use generators, and the electric power would be transfer to the electric motors, what is installed in every wheel under this vehicle. This would give the car or truck extreme high speed, and the limit of the speed is the endurance of electric motors. That kind of truck can, in theory, leave even sport scars behind them.

The electric driving system can be used selectively. When the batteries are low, the computer would activate the diesel-system. And in the short drive, there could be used only electricity. This means that the tank of the vehicle must not fill at all if there would be found recharge points on the road. In this system is able to use solar panels for increasing the capacity of the battery. Those diesel motors are meant to use only in the forests, where will not found the recharge points. But this kind of vehicles can use also normal power plugs to reload their batteries. So if this project would be the success, the heavy transportation would be more economical and kindly for the environment than ever before.

New AI-based operating systems revolutionize drone technology.

"University of Missouri researchers are advancing drone autonomy using AI, focusing on navigation and environmental interaction without GPS reliance. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, AI Unleashed: Revolutionizing Autonomous Drone Navigation) The GPS is an effective navigation system. But the problem is, how to operate that system when somebody jams it? The GPS is a problematic system. Its signal is quite easy to cut. And otherwise, if the enemy gets the GPS systems in their hands, they can get GPS frequencies. That helps to make the jammer algorithms against those drones. The simple GPS is a very vulnerable thing.  Done swarms are effective tools when researchers want to control large areas. The drone swarm's power base is in a non-centralized calculation methodology. In that model, drones share their CPU power with other swarm members. This structure allows us to drive complicated AI-based solutions. And in drone swarms, the swarm operates as an entirety. That ca

Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.

Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel.  Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20.  Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6.   Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require electricity, and electr

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins.  The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain.  This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica
